Product Information

Aura™ Particulate Healthcare Respirator Series 1800+ feature a low breathing resistance filter media in an ergonomic, flat-fold, 3-panel design that’s engineered to fit a broad variety of face shapes and sizes. Available in FFP1, FFP2 and FFP3 protection, these comfortable respirators are for use in medical environments where health care workers will be exposed to hazardous particulate contaminants. European health experts also advise the use of FFP3 to minimize the spread of diseases like tuberculosis or measles, because of its unmatchable protection. It is also important to choose a mask that does not have a plastic valve on the front or side, as some FFP masks do. Masks with valves let a portion of your breath out unfiltered, so they give insufficient protection to those around you.

Adidas told us its mask was designed early on in the pandemic, before there was an industry standard for non-medical face coverings, and that its mask was tested for comfort and breathability. That’s why it’s important to shave off your beard before a face fit test as it could manipulate the results. Get rid of stubble or any facial hair that could get in the way of proper mask fitting. We’ve learned a lot about how face masks can protect us against the spread of Coronavirus, but naturally, the advice surrounding masks has changed and many people are looking to update their face coverings. Here's what you need to know about higher-grade face masks such as N95, FFP2 and FFP3 face masks and where to buy them for increased protection against COVID-19. To find out how easy or hard it will be to breathe in a face covering, we measure the pressure required to draw air through the mask at a rate of eight litres per minute.A face fit test helps you find the perfect, exceptional coverage face mask that completely seals your inhalation passages with no chance of airborne droplets reaching inside the facepiece. The measure gained significant attention when the CDC (Centers for Disease Control) in the US published a study recommending its use. However, the guidance is specific to those using surgical masks. The guidance indicates that wearing a cloth mask over the top of a properly fitted surgical mask can increase protection from infectious aerosol droplets by 92 per cent. The study didn’t look at “double masking” with two surgical masks or two cloth masks. In our tests, we found huge discrepancies in how well face coverings were able to filter bacterial particles. The best face coverings were able to filter 99.9% of particles, while the worst only managed a paltry 7%' The largest improvement was an increase from 7% filtration to 27%, but most only improved marginally. However, bear in mind that over a longer period of time it's possible the fabric will wear and become slightly less effective. So if your mask is starting to look worn out it's time to replace it.
